My charger moved under my arm in the night a burned a hole in my arm. I didn’t believed that was what did it until I saw other people’s burns. I’m going to call the doctor about it because there is a red swollen circle around it. People please don’t leave these chargers anywhere near your skin.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
That’s why Apple has this on their website:
Charging cable and connector Avoid prolonged skin contact with the charging cable and connector when the charging cable is connected to a power source because it may cause discomfort or injury. Sleeping or sitting on the charging cable or connector should be avoided.

Have a great day.
Yes but unfortunately I would have had to be psychic and known in advance that I was going to burn my arm and that I should look up important safety information.
I only posted it as it may catch a few people’s eyes and they may read it and think oh I never knew that.
I appreciate your reply but I feel it’s a bit of a condescending reply as you seem to assume people are either psychic or that every person reads every single piece of information they get with a phone.
It clearly happens a lot meaning apple may need to rethink how they present the safety information.
